Fishing boats, ATVs, canoes, and kayaks will be displayed inside and outside of the store.

The store also features a “Gander Mountain Lodge,” a meeting room provided free of charge for meetings of local outdoor groups. During the year Gander Mountain provides educational courses for outdoor enthusiasts in the Lodge and offers more hunter safety programs through its lodges than any other retailer in the United States.
The grand opening of the store will begin on April 25 and will feature in-store specials, a limited number of free promotional items for “first shoppers” and appearances by outdoors celebrities.
